Abstract
An amplitude modulation (AM) based mechanism controllably alters the shape of a binary phase shift keyed (BPSK) digital spreading waveform modulated onto an RF carrier. The modulated RF carrier is amplified by a saturated RF amplifier. The spectral properties of the amplified AM-BPSK waveform, when combined with the spectral properties of a BPSK waveform modulated onto the RF carrier and amplified by another saturated RF amplifier, produces a composite BPSK-modulated RF waveform containing substantially suppressed sidelobes.
